Reviews

Eight Bears is science journalism at its best: thoroughly researched, carefully conceived, and vividly written. Highly recommended!--Nate Blakeslee, author of American Wolf
Written with deep compassion and striking humor, Eight Bears provides a deep and clarifying understanding of our history of ursine kinship.--Lyndsie Bourgon, author of Tree Thieves
At once heartbreaking and hopeful, steeped in science and rich in poetry, Eight Bears is an intrepid investigation into the harms we've inflicted upon bears--and proof that we still have the power to save our ursine brethren.--Ben Goldfarb, award-winning author of Eager
With deep, on-the-ground reporting and vivid writing, Gloria Dickie takes readers from the historic mythologies that have made bears the most charismatic of megafauna to the lairs and laboratories where the future for each of the world's eight ursine species is being written. Her book is as magnificent as the animals we meet in it.--Michael Kodas, author of Megafire
In this insightful, absorbing book, Gloria Dickie not only introduces us to the eight remaining species of bears themselves but deftly connects the plight of each species to a much larger story: the story of our ancient, fraught, irreplaceable relationship with these astonishing animals.--Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts
A definitive and magisterial account.... This book is essential reading about the ongoing Anthropocene collision between humanity and the rest of the natural world.--James Balog, director of Earth Vision Institute and A.D. White Professor-at-Large, Cornell University
Gloria Dickie takes us on an intimate global journey into our tangled and absorbing relationship with bears, where fur brushes close to skin, where the stakes are high, and in which the future of bears is our future as well.--Harley Rustad, author of Lost in the Valley of Death
